Finding Love

Chapter 52

AJs POV

I open my eyes slowly and curse from the blinding light shining on them.

"Jesus fuck.." I mumble, bringing a hand up and shielding my eyes.

It doesn't help.

Why the fuck is this room so bright?

Glancing around, I ignore everything in this unfamiliar room and focus on the light switch across the room beside the door.

Throwing my legs out of the narrow bed I'm on, I stand up- only for my legs to practically crumble beneath me the second I put my weight on them.

Not caring much- still half asleep honestly, I all but crawl to the door.

I reach up, turning off the light switch, and darkness masks the room.

Sighing with relief, I slump down onto the ground, closing my eyes yet again, feeling beyond exhausted.

The door beside me opens. I don't hear it- but I feel it brush against my arm as it opens.

The light turns on, and I groan again. "Fuck me" I mumble, bringing a hand up and covering my eyes again.

"AJ?" Someone whispers, and I hum in response just as hands cup my face. Peaking open an eye, I'm met with a beautiful sight.

My fucking girlfriend.

Even better- she's smiling at me.

"You're up" She whispers, leaning her forehead against mine. "And you're smiling" I mumble back, staring at her gently.

"Come on- let's get you back in bed," She tells me, and I shake my head a bit. "Don't think my legs work" I mumble, while she helps me stand.

She gets me back on my feet, and I lean into her a lot, since for whatever fucking reason, I'm weak as hell.

Becca, having no problem with my heavy ass leaning on her, easily walks me over to the bed.

While I lie back down, she turns on a little lamp beside the bed. She then turns off the blinding white lights, and I let out a breath of relief.

Without even having to ask her, she squeezes onto the bed beside me next. She sits up, so I copy her, and we side by side, until she leans her head against my shoulder.

She laces her fingers with mine, squeezing tight.

I feel like I'm missing something.

Opening my eyes, I go still when I notice the unfamiliar room I'm in looks awfully similar to a hospital room.

What the fuck?-

My head is foggy.

Why?

What the hell happened?

"AJ, what do you remember?" Becca suddenly whispers, and I turn my head to look at her.

She's watching me worried...

Like she did...

Holy fuck.

It all comes rushing back to me.

Getting taken.

Waking up in that room.

Her...

Escaping.

Saving Lynn.

Getting beat up.

Getting beat up again.

Planting fucking explosives.

Killing Jax- who happens to be my uncle?

My god- my head is about to explode.
